Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2007008125A1] The present invention relates to an absorbent article (10) having front (12), crotch (14) and rear (16) portions. The article comprises an absorbent core (18) of unitary construction and of uniform density, which is defined by a pair of opposing longitudinal edges (20;22) and a pair of opposing transverse edges (24;26). The absorbent core (18) has at least a first (28) and a second (30) region, the average thickness of the absorbent core (18) in these first and second regions (28, 30) being lower than the average thickness of the absorbent core (18) surrounding said first and second regions (28;30), said first and second lower thickness regions (28;30) being arranged symmetrically about the longitudinal centre line A of the article such that each of the first and second lower thickness regions (28;30) extends to the respective longitudinal edge (20;22) of the absorbent core. The distance ax between said first and second lower thickness regions (28;30) in the transverse direction varying along the longitudinal direction of the article. A minimum distance al between said first and second lower thickness regions (28;30) in the transverse direction is located at least in the transition (32) between the crotch portion (14) and the front portion (12). The article provides good, secure fit and high comfort to the wearer.
